Appeals will normally be heard by 17 June 2019. For in-year admissions appeals will be held within 30 school days of the appeal being lodged.

You can get more information from the form and guidance notes attached to this page and make your appeal online.

Details of the appeals procedure for all Derbyshire maintained secondary schools can be found in the appeals guidance notes for parents attached to this page.

For appeals in respect of places at schools not in Derbyshire, parents are advised to contact the council which maintains the school in the first instance. Find out about neighbouring councils.

The decision reached by the independent panel will be binding on the council and the parents. A further application in respect of the same school will not be entertained in the same academic year unless significant and material changes in circumstances arise.
